Subject: Re: [BVARC] RFI I installed a common mode choke on the feed line just before it comes into my attic. It works. David W5MMQ I installed a common mode choke on the feed line lose to the radio. It was particularly bad on 40 meters. Scott KD5FBA On Sun, Dec 19, 2021, 6:24 PM David F. Reed via BVARC wrote: Due to some HOA C&R, I am confined to attic and gutter antennas for the time being. I am getting a bit of RFI on occasion into my PC; it manifests itself mainly by apparently disconnecting the com port from Commander. When this happens, I can restore functionality by selecting a different com port, and then re-selecting the original correct com port. I am grounded to a 10' ground rod about 8 ft. from the station via 2" copper strap. I did install ferrite beads on the USB cables at the back of the PC as well as on the power cord, and this has reduced the frequency of occurrence, but I would like to eliminate it altogether. Any other ideas and suggestions would be most appreciated!
